In a country like India, it is often hard to find burger buns, well at least in my area. You can now make it at home.
I tried making a few batches and I finally found a good recipe and a good yeast brand. (use a good quality yeast, there are many out there which will take forever to activate). A few simple ingredients and voila, it read. It is a bit time-consuming but the fresh bread smell makes all the effort worth it. Do give it a try, Happy Baking!!!
